AIDS Death Toll Nears Heart Disease, Stroke
The Associated Press ^ | November 28, 2006 | AP

Posted on 11/28/2006 8:31:22 AM PST by Westlander

Within the next 25 years, AIDS is set to join heart disease and stroke as the top three causes of death worldwide, according to a study published online Monday.

When global mortality projections were last calculated a decade ago, researchers had assumed the number of AIDS cases would be declining. Instead, it's on the rise.

How many men have died of AIDS since the start of the War? How much is it costing us? Where are the real numbers?

Is being gay more dangerous than eating white bread, trasfats, and McDonalds hamburgers ... together?

Have you noticed that ever since GLESN got their teaching of homosexuality into the public schools that AIDS became an African Disease?

Stop right there. Another might, could be, maybe story from the AP based on a "study" by unnamed "experts." But the agenda is plain. AIDS must be the #1 disease to further the homosexual agenda. It HAS TO BE!!!! Thus, just come up with a story that tells us what could/maybe be in the future, not what is now, where AIDS is not the leading killer.

Don't get me wrong, AIDS is a horrible killer that must be combated, but so are other diseases and even more so. Like it or not, the money should go to the disease that is the biggest threat.

They rarely do autopsies on supposed AIDS victims in Africa -- they determine cause of death only by the symptoms, which happen to emulate other diseases. Therefore, they don't really know the true death toll from AIDS.

So, this is BS.

Isn't it ironic that the world's deadliest disease is by far the easiest to avoid?

The WHO combined with the AP is a recipe for becoming misinformed, IMO.

Big Macs and fries are the principle means by which heart attacks are spread throughout the population.

Venereal disease has never been a thing of beauty. AIDS, like smoking, is generally a self-inflicted malady. AIDS in the U.S. is mostly spread by deviant homosexual behavior much like CJD and Kuru are mainly spread by deviant cannibalism. The lesson here is that deviant behavior is likely to have a high cost on ones health.

Africa is a land filled with many stupid and ignorant people; that being said even they have figured that the West will pump out big buck for "AIDS" programs while not spending a dime for a whole raft of other diseases which do not have a constituency. Therefore, dysentery becomes AIDS, malaria becomes AIDS, all is AIDS and the money flows.

To make it worse, I once told a liberal about how the African AIDS numbers get exaggerated, and she replied that it's okay to lie to get people to give money to African AIDS charities -- because it's for a good cause.

It's amazing how nobody ever had heart maladies before Ray Kroc came along, eh?

Let's see, wasn't it Mr Ebaneezer Scrooge that uttered a phrase about eliminating surplus population? It applies here.

There's a cure. Heterosexual monogamy.

Even gay monogamy woul prevent the spread of AIDS if both parties were clean beforehand. The key prevention is not to screw around. AIDS is the most preventable epidemic in human history, but the modern liberal mindset sees promiscuoity as a birthright, so they never want monogamy mentioned as the ultimate preventative medicine.

That's now considered hate speech. It's also the truth.

Nah, the lead in to this AIDS story on the radio this morning was something on some researcher in Australia who found that CO2 levels in the atmosphere were still rising.

Same old, Same old. You'd think that the left would find a new mantra, somewhere.

Actually, there is new research that indicates Big Macs and French Fries may not be responsible for clogged arteries and resulting heart attacks, instead it may be an infection of the arteries - check out www.calciumbomb.com

Ray merely helped the malady become an epidemic. Before Ray, millions had heart problems because of their diets. My dad loved nothing more than fried everything and lard was the main grease they used. He died at 62 with a major heart attack before anyone knew or cared what cholesterol was.

The end justifies the means, . . . mmmmh, that sounds like a great idea! Doing things that way means I can lie, cheat and steal to support a "good cause." I wonder if that applies to elections too. Silly me, you did say that she was a liberal didn't you.

They would hate me there too, of course that's a plus for both of us.

Mike, I remember when AIDS first came out (identified/ known)---WAY BACK IN THE LATE 70'S---message was simple; don't engage in risky practices.

Billions of dollars later, countless public service ads, and some still don't get the message. What else can you do; throw more money at it? I don't think so.

It's stayed pretty much the same in my household.
